O. E. LUCHT COOKY HOLDER Filed May 12, 930' Invcnlor Patented Jan. 6;, 1931 TATES PATENT OFFICE OTTO E. LUCH'I, OF MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN I COOKY HOLDER Application filed May 12, 1930.1 Serial Nd. 451,833.

This invention relates to an improved food pan insert in the. nature of a holder or rack for supporting a plurality of cookies, cakes .or thelike in position for making what is fre untly referred to in the trade as an ice an adjustable leg-supported annulus or ring which is placed concentrically in the. pan in such a way as to permit the cookies to. be racked between the rim of the pan and the ring-like holder and to permit a predeter structural arrangement of-details utilized in the construction of the holder wherebyto facilitate adjustment and placement as 'well as removal of the holder and to insure convenient and dependable racking of the cookies for aiding in the. preparation ofthe novel dessert ordelicacy.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a plan view showing the holder 7 in the lines. 7 V

Figure 2 ma side elevational view of the separable end portion of the ring; showing the elevated legs attached thereto.

Figures 8 and 1 are sectional views taken on the planes of the lines 3 8 and 4: 1 respectively of Figure 2.

Figure 5 is asection'on the line 55 of Figure 1. V

Figure 6 is a section on the line 6-6 of pan, the pan being shown'in dotted Figure 1.

In the drawings; in Figure 1, the reference character 7 designates the pan and 8 represents generally the holder. The holder comprises a split metal'band or ring having a reduced tongue 9 at one end for slip joint connection with a retaining or keeper loop 10 on the companion end. This permits the ends to be slidably and overlappedly connected to facilitate adjustment of the circumference of the holder.

A-sseen in Figure 2, it will be observed that the strap-like keeper loop .10 is struck out :fromthesupporting legs 11. There are other supporting legs 12- which rest on the bottom of the pan and hold the rings in the desired elevated position so 'that they may be placed concentricallywithin the pan in a position to raise above the bottom thereof.

The numeral 13 designates a slidable re- 5 taining clip in thena-ture of a slip of metal 6 bent upon itself {so as toyform a 'V-s'haped wedge-portion 14' which can be jammed. be-

jtweenlthev keeper loops 10 and the adjacent terminal of the end 9. This allows the adjustmentof the "ring or band to be maintained after ithas been previously adjusted.

The numerals 15 represent lifting lugs to aidIinliftingthe complete device out of the pan at gthefdesired time. The numerallG designates an outwardly struck ear which projects into. the annulus face between the rim of theqpan and the holder 8 as seen in. Figure,, 1. 1 This provides a support for'rthe first cookyiplaced in position. In other words, this ear 16holols the cooky upright and prevents it from fallingdowninto the pan and allows the Temainingcookies to be stacked or racked-into the annulus face between'the device and'the rimofthe pan.

As an incidental feature, I call attention .8

.to'the top beadf17 formedaround the upper edge. of the ring/and. including a reinforcing wire. Assuming that the device is in the pan as shown in Figure 1, it is obvious that the annulus face between the device 8 and the rim of the pan is regulated according to the size of the wafers, cakes or cookies to be employed in preparing the product for subsequently conditioning.

The attendant places the cookies between i the pan and the holder, placing the first cookies against the flap or ear 16 to keep it in place. Then a portion of the batter is poured into the pan putting in enough so that itcomes substantially level with the lower edge of the ring. I V

Then the device 8 is lifted out. through the medium of the lifting fingers 15 and the remainder of the batteris put into the pan.

It is thought that persons skilled in the art to which the invention relates will be able to obtain a clear understanding of the invention after considering the description in connection with the drawings. Therefore, a more-lengthy description is regarded as unnecessary.

Minor changes in shape, size, and rear-- rangement of details coming within the field of invention claimed may be resorted to in 10 actual practice if desired.

I claim:

, 1. As a new. product of manufacture, a cooky holder comprising an adjustable ringlike band provided with an outstanding cooky V supporting ear at a predetermined point, a plurality of supporting legs carried by said pan and adapted to rest against the bottom of the pan, and lifting fingers carried byand projecting into the interior of the band to permit it to be conveniently lifted out'of'the p 2.- As a new product of manufacture, a cocky holdertof the class described comprising a ring-like band having a keeper atone end,

5 and havingthe opposite end fashionedfor adjustable connection with said keeper, a 'slidable retaining clip associated with the keeper for holding the ends of the band in adjusted relationship, a plurality of supporting legs carriedby and depending from the lower edge of said band; 7 p

3. As anew product of 'man'ufacture, a cooky holder of the class described comprising a ring-like band having a keeper at one end,and having the opposite end fashioned for adjustable connection with said keeper,

7 a slidable retaining clip'associated' with the keeper for holding the ends of the band injadv justed relationship, a :plurality of support- 40 ing legs carried by and depending from the lower edge-of said band, said bandbeing provided with an outstanding horizontally dispcsed cooky holding ear and; further pro- 7 vided with a pair ofidiainetrically opposite v 5 inwardly projecting lifting fingers.
